A lot of long-range shooting enthusiasts use projectiles known as "boat tails" for the same reason.

Instead of having a flat back, they taper down a bit.

By making the surface area of the rear smaller, the size of the negative pressure zone is also made smaller, reducing the effect and raising the ballistic coefficient.
